When catarrh has existed in the head and the

tubes convey the air to the different parts OF
the lungs. The tubes become affected from
the swelling and the mucous arising from
catarrh, and, In some instances, become plugged
up, so that the air cannot get In as freely as It
should. Shortness of breath follows, and the
patient breathes with labor and difficulty.
In either case there is u sound of cracking
and Wheeling inside the chest. At this stage OF
the disease the breathing Is usually more rapid
than when in health. The patient has also hot
dashes over his body.
The pain which accompanies this condition ID
of dull character, felt in the chest, behind the
breast bone, or under the shoulder blade. Tho
pain may come and go--last few days and then
be absent for several others. The cough that

Sometimes there are fits of coughing induced
by the tough mucus so violent rs to cause vom-

found to contain small particles of yellow mat

lungs are now affected. With this there arc
often streaks of blood mixed with the mucus.

not only his own shapely form, but the
difference between uck-Baldwin-and

others are engaged upon similar schemes.
and there Is sincere talk Of founding q
parachute club. some Of the enthusiasts
believing that parachuts will furnish
eventually the first step toward aerial 10
comotion.
But "parachuting" is by no means con.
fined to the scientists and cranks OF the
city Every other boy In the city has the
craze, and It is no uncommon thing for a
boy to jump from the roof of piazza or
an upper window by the aid of huge
UMBRELLA, which occasionally turns inside
out and lets the youth down with speed
that is not enjoyed by by the infantile
nronaut. Then the boys have invented
toy parachutcs, some Of paper, others of
cloth. These are cought at the corners
small weight BY throwing them
into the air they spread out and sail
smoothly down. So general has this
practice become that parachutes hang
on wires and trees all over the city. Of
course there have been numerous acci-
dents and there will bo more broken
limbs and heads before the youth of the
town emulate Baldwin. Perhaps before
the surgeons cease reaplng their harvest
among the boys the undcrtakers will be.
GIN reaping theirs among she adult para
chutists.
Baldwin has been the lion Of the day,
week and month in Quincy, and is now
in Chicago arranging for another jump
to be made here. His Fourth of July
plunge did him up for week, for, al
though he appeared all right, he was
dazed and so sore that locomoton was
difficult In tae meantime honors were
flying in upon him. Society friends dec
side the veil on Saturday presented him
with another medal, the size of silver
pad. This latter was studded with dia.
monds, and in case of necessity will be
highly respected by his uncle" To cap
the climax another set of friends on
Thursday presented him with q check
for $40O. In presenting the money a
prominent attorney OF this city said
among other things:
"The most casual observer cannot fail
to catch glimpse of the great field of
research and discovery lying in your
pathway. The countless ships that shall
sail with electric speed through the
trackless air of the twentieth century,
laden with human and commercial
freight, may owe to the discovery of
Thomas S. Baldwin the principles that
shall insure their triumphant success.
Their hosts OF passengers may pursue
their aerial voyages with the ever.present
restful thought that Baldwin has pro.
vided safe descent to mother earth in
times of accident or peril. No man who
has gwen thought to the progress of
physical science in our day can say with
knowledge or truth that here or there is

New York lrishmen Talk.

New YORK, August 2O.-fSpecial Tele-
gram to the BEE. The news from London
that the government has at last proclaimed
the Irish National league created intense
excitement among the different classes of
Irishmen in this city. They say that the gov
ernment plainly sees that majority of the
English voters have turned against them,
and they might as we'll have the satisfaction
of doing as much as they can against Ireland
while they remain in office. The same OBJ
servati0n applies to those whom Gladstone
refused to call unionists, but persists in call
ing "dissident liberals" One thing seems
certain from the collective opinion of those
whom your reporter talked with from
fenian and dynamiter down to conserve
tive members of the parliamentary fund
association. There never was pr0clalna-
ton of a national organization issued before
termined resistance as this one. They say
that 1t will be simply impossible to put down
the national league; thatif money flowed into
Ireland before from this country in th0ns-
ands, it will be certain to do so now in in
creased volume.
Michael Gibln, vce-president of the Home
Rule club, said: GAS there Is no reason to
doubt that the government is determined not
alone to put down the league but to put it
down with an iron hand, you are certain to
see bloodshed and slaughter more hOrritying
days of the Forster regime The result will
be more determined and general resistance
to evictions. The stubborn fights all around
to keep the nationalist meetings going in
spite of the we'll appointed armies of Great
Britain will be TERRIBLE"

ing. The fire made great display
against the low.hanging clouds and in
the apprehension Of q considerable con-
fagration, a double alarm was turned
in. The locality, lying rs it does,
two blocks west OF Hanscome
park is attainable only by way of Leav-
enworth street, but was almost utterly
inaccessible last night, owing to the
heavy ram which had churned the un.
paved roadway into an impossible strip
of quagmire. Several pieces of appa-
ratus responded to the alarm, but
the new chemical engine was alone able
to finish the trip and that after such
painful and delaying efforts that the fire
had burned itself out when the scene was
reached. The remaining apparatus with
drew after sticking fast and falling into
ruts few times. No. 4 hose cart was
pushed on, however, until within half
mile OF the fire when the wheels sunk
over the hubs and the foundering horses
could move their load no more. The
men and horses waded out, leav-
ing the truck until morning.
Mr.. Sloan's barn was stored with q

of furniture and implements so that his
loss will reach $4,000 covered by about
